Frog Blast the Vent Core!
...In all the major game releases including add ons.
They are as follows, just in case they slipped your memory. You may notice a little bit of a pattern here. Someone has to go on all those patrols
Wing Commander
Patrol All Nav Points - Enyo System
Ship - Hornet
The VERY first mission. 3 Nav points, 5 fighters and asteroids. What a way to say hi. Welcome to the world of Wing Commander. It goes without question this set the tone for missions to come.
Secret Missions 1
Patrol/Defend/Escort - Goddard System
Ship - Hornet
This mission definitely lets you know that this is not going to be a cakewalk. SM1 is filled with challenging missions and this one has something special for you at every Nav point.
Secret Missions 2
Escort/Patrol - Firekka System
Ship - Hornet
Escort TCS Perez de Cuellar to Nav 2. Then we get a Ralari later on. A first mission with a significant capship to take out? This set the tone of the remaining missions fairly well. The Kilrathi are coming and they are coming in numbers.
Wing Commander 2
Patrol All Nav Points - Gwynedd System
Ship - Ferret
6 fighters after quiet for years? Uh oh, sounds like a job for a former war hero. Bombers without afterburner madness soon ensues.
Special Operations 1
Patrol All Nav Points - Pembroke System
Ship - Super Ferret
Improved Ferret is fun to fly especially when going against Strakhas and a Kamekh. Origin definitely upped the ante with the expansions as their first missions always seemed to have a little extra spice.
Special Operations 2
Escort Jazz to Alcatraz - Canewdon System
Ship - Rapier II
The bastard has to get away, but we do get to take out 6 fighters in a Rapier to start with.
Wing Commander 3
Patrol All Nav Points - Orsini System
Ship - Hellcat V
4 Darkets in a Hellcat V? Pfft. No problem. The start of the final campaign against the Kilrathi. Perhaps the easiest of all the first missions.
Wing Commander 4
Challenge Maniac/Ship Out for another campaign - Nephele System
Ship - Hellcat V
Who doesn't love to go head to head with Maniac and show him a thing or two? And how about the first time you saw Seether's little trick? Welcome to big budget Wing Commander.
Wing Commander Prophecy
Escort Dekker - H'rekkah System
Ship - Piranha
6 Morays, a trashed Frathli II and a reunion with Dekker. An interesting way of introducing our new enemy. The wrecked Frathli II was something that struck me right off the bat. Our new enemy could easily destroy the Kilrathi, so what was in store for us?
Secret Operations
Patrol All Nav Points - Courage System
Ship - Black Panther
Again with the expansions! Origin had no qualms about making these first missions a bit more difficult then the main game releases. The difficultly of the expansions overall is a bit higher than the main releases as well. 15 fighters in this mission, the most of any first mission in the main series. The next closest is SO1 with 10.
So there's some basic information on each. Which one was the best for you?
My own personal favorite is SM1. First Nav point, hello new transport! A lot of fighters as well as the famous asteroids. SM1 is filled with difficult missions and this first one perfectly set the tempo of everything that was to follow.
